Down Low
C.y.Ber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Damn, aye
Even when the future looks dim
RIP
Ahh, forget the shade
What
Turn the lights down low, its getting dark
Plus we already lit, goin to hard
Turn the lights down low, its getting Dark
Plus we already blitzed, goin to hard
Beat the odds, your not alone
You have what it takes to turn a house into a home
Momma had her moments
Daddy was a rolling stone
Others cant define you, so it's time to set the tone
Be the change that you tryin to see
Pain is a burden, joy is free
Existence is in the eye of the beholder
Keep on moving forward, fighting like a soldier
Steady harmonizing with that moonlight
Building up insight
Gettin your mind right
You gotta let your conscience take flight
You deserve more than a condescending gas light
Cuz you ain't my friend if you been talking down
Were all just tryna stay above this hollow ground
It might seem solid till it crumbles
At the end of the day, aye
Turn the lights down low, its getting dark
Plus we already lit, goin to hard
Turn the lights down low, its getting dark
Plus we already blitzed, goin to hard
Get that condescending gas light out my eyes
I can't see that context with these worldly lies
I'll fail a million times
But at the end of the day, at least I can say I tried
I'ma give it my all till I have nothing left baby




Stay true to you and your homies
That's the only legacy that lives on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to C.y.Ber's song "Down Low" reflect a message of resilience and self-empowerment in the face of adversity.

I really want to stay at your house Lyrics :

I couldn't wait for you to come clear the cupboards
But now you're going to leave with nothing but a sign
Another evening I'll be sitting reading in between your lines
Because I miss you all the time
So, get away
Another way to feel what you didn't want yourself to know
And let yourself go
You know you didn't lose your self-control
Let's start at the rainbow
Turn away
Another way to be where you didn't want yourself to go
Let yourself go
Is that a compromise?
So, what do you wanna do, what's your point-of-view?
There's a party soon, do you wanna go?
A handshake with you, what's your point-of-view?
I'm on top of you, I don't wanna go
'Cause I really wanna stay at your house
And I hopе this works out
But you know how much you broke me apart
I'm done with you, I'm ignoring you
I don't wanna know
And I'm awarе that you were lying in the gutter
'Cause I did everything to be there by your side-ide
So, when you tell me I'm the reason I just can't believe the lies
And why do I so want to call you (call you, call you, call you)
So, what do you wanna do, what's your point-of-view?
There's a party soon, do you wanna go?
A handshake with you, what's your point-of-view?
I'm on top of you, I don't wanna go
'Cause I really wanna stay at your house
And I hope this works out
But you know how much you broke me apart
I'm done with you, I'm ignoring you
I don't wanna know
Oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I don't know why I'm no one
So, get away
Another way to feel what you didn't want yourself to know
And let yourself go
You know you didn't lose your self-control
Let's start at the rainbow
Turn away
Another way to be where you didn't want yourself to go
Let yourself go
Is that a compromise?
So, what do you wanna do, what's your point-of-view?
There's a party soon, do you wanna go?
A handshake with you, what's your point-of-view?
I'm on top of you, I don't wanna go
'Cause I really wanna stay at your house
And I hope this works out
But you know how much you broke me apart
I'm done with you, I'm ignoring you
I don't wanna know
